Background: Preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules is sometimes necessary when they are too small or distant from the surface of the visceral pleura to be detected during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This study aims to present the criteria for localization and to evaluate the accuracy of the criteria.
Methods: From April 2001 to March 2008, 178 patients with 224 nodules who underwent wedge resection of pulmonary metastatic nodules by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were reviewed retrospectively.
